God wants us on TV [View all]

This is from last week, but I'm just now seeing it, and maybe the headline is a bit misleading but the hubris made me laugh. When I thought about it again, though, of course they would say that. They've been hallucinating for years, why would they stop now? I still get surprised, though, when I hear someone claim God told them this, or God told them that. They are either hallucinating, or they are liars. The only other option is God really did tell them something, but...come on.

Duggars ‘Heartbroken'; Say God Wants Them On Television

Too bad for the Duggars that God is too busy with other stuff to be programming TLC.

An unidentified source told PEOPLE:

The Duggars want to return to TV because they truly believe it was part of God’s plan for them to spread the word about their faith.

I think Jim Bob and Michelle honestly did expect people to just move on from this. Their thinking is, they put this behind them ages ago, so why wouldn’t the rest of the world?


The Duggar children are reportedly devastated by the cancellation of the family’s reality show because they enjoy being famous, claims another report.


my snip above was on Liberaland, but then I noticed the original story here. It's even juicier.
